Adult learning principles state that adults learn best when content
is relevant. So why do most virtual classroom lessons rely on lectures and slides?
One of the most effective ways to ensure learning sticks is by getting learners
involved, and scenario-based learning design does just that. Join this session to
discover ideas for producing appropriate scenarios that resonate with your learners
in the virtual classroom.

You only have so much time to dedicate to formal learning,
so every moment needs to be impactful and relevant. Unfortunately, virtual classroom
sessions tend to focus on getting as much content out there as possible and then
leave it up to the learners to figure out how to make it all work. This session
will explore how to design three types of scenario-based activities in the virtual
classroom: problem-based learning, predictive learning, and play-based learning.
You’ll leave with detailed examples of each, and a template to walk you through
seven steps for constructing scenarios in your virtual classroom design.

learn:

The role of scenario-based learning in modern workplace
